I stumbled upon the blog of Alison Warner who makes some really beautiful aquarel paintings. Her original is (obviously) the one on the right. When i asked for permission to use her aquarels for making some studies, she suggested that i draw and paint things from real life rather than copying the works of other … Read more
You wouldn’t believe it, but I’m in a hurry! So i’ll just quick say that this is yet another aquaral after an original by Maxine Dodd (on the right) – the paper didn’t take wery well this time, and i thing it was because i had removed some pencil with an eraser.. It’s not good … Read more
I’m really enjoying this ! I’ll get back to you with some kind of pencil drawing (i think) later in the day. The drawing on the right is by Maxine Dodd who makes beautiful watercolour sketches.

Drawing perspectives are difficult – drawing portraits are extremely difficult! But in all honesty – i enjoy portraits … Read more
It is strange how different your drawing becomes when you put it up there next to the original. Here i need to use a much softer pencil, to get some darkness into that room! – i’m a bit ashamed to realize aswell that the blade of light is strangely off in another angle, and that … Read more
This one i did yesterday but i had to wait for today to have decent sunlight for taking a picture of the drawing. We’re still at Can Lis – this is one of the window openings from the living room, opening up to a view of the sea and the sky. Can Lis is all … Read more
So this is my first post, and i start by posting the first four drawings i have done in the last three days, and as you can see, there is room for improvement! 11/09/14: Yesterdays drawing is of a square in Algiers. (and it’s still based upon a photo that i’ve taken at some point). … Read more
